I spotted these two cool Bromptons while I was out grocery shopping on my Bike Friday NWT (http://thelazyrando.wordpress.com/tag/nwt/).

I chatted with the owners a bit...they've got 6 spd IGHs [Sturmey-Archer I assume] and a 2 speed Schlumpf BB/crank set for a 12 speed drivetrain. They also had dynohubs/lights.

It seems like I'm seeing more folders about town these days...:thumb:

Yup, up here too. Saw my first Dahon Mu yesterday and a BF last week. My daughters boss just bought a Brompton for the commute,neighbor in highrise down the street has a brommie so with mine thats at least 3 Brommies around here, and see some of the cheaper Dahon speeds fairly often.

I saw a blue brommie on the bow river pathway near Prince's Island this past Thursday, while on a Yuba Mundo trip to IKEA.
